One-third of Indian STEM conferences have no women https://t.co/q1pA1l7oEL
Women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics faculty are rare, and women speaking at conferences are even rarer quoted from the article.

We need better representation. Any suggestions?

Don’t waste time using ChatGPT for your academic research needs.

It provides incorrect references and out-of-date information.

Instead use AI-powered tools that are designed for academics:

[Payel Das @payeldas1011]

2 important things that make you a better researcher:

Compartmentalisation of different tasks- plan all your tasks ahead in time; utilise gaps in between tasks.

Independent thinking- read papers, understand 1st the broad question, hypotheses before conducting experiments.
